There will be a number of industry leaders collecting checks for
her quietly too, like Marc Lasry, the billionaire founder of
Avenue Capital. He sent out emails to friends in an attempt to
raise $270,000
within the first week of Clinton's campaign.

That kind of stuff works. The reality of political bundling is
that donations are given not because of some PR stunt or because
of some swanky party.

Donors give money to campaigns when the right people ask them for
that money.

Lasry, for one, is on that list of "right people." He runs a huge
hedge fund and people want to be able to do business with him.
Lots of those people will donate to whichever candidate Lasry
wants them to, just to stay on his good side.

Meanwhile, Clinton will go out to the world with her populist,
anti-Wall Street rhetoric.

Every once in a while, this will upset some of her
donors. That sensitivity
has already become apparent in the campaign. In an interview with
CNN, billionaire Leon Cooperman complained thatClinton "hangs out with these
people in Martha's Vineyard and in the Hamptons and the very
first thing she does is criticize hedge funds."

This was in response to
Clinton pointing out that "the top-25 hedge fund managers
making more than all of America's kindergarten teachers combined.
And often paying a lower tax rate."

She added, "So you have to wonder: 'When does my hard work
pay off? When does my family get ahead?
When?'"

See? Sensitive.

Another way insiders expect
Clinton to raise cash from Wall Street is through Wall Street's
lawyers. Lawyers
tend to lean more liberal than their Wall Street clients do, and
Clinton can rally their support so that they can approach clients
who might be able to sign a check or two.

The approach will work if only because, as everyone knows, Wall
Street owes its lawyers a debt of gratitude or two.
